Jenna's First Birthday Party

So... today was Jenna's Birthday party. Long story short.. she finally woke up at 2:45 right before her party (she had only been up for a total of an hour all day... we got her in her party clothes... and she was ok for 10 minutes or so..then she started to really fuss and just got lethargic... REALLY lethargic... laid in my arms and could not keep her eyes open. She had a fever and did not look good at all. I was getting really nervous since she had only had a few sips of juice all day and nothing else. REFUSED anything. So we called the ER for some advise. "Bring her in" is what they advised. So we rushed her out of her party and to the ER.... when wouldn't you know it... she perked up. I think the doctor thought we were all quack jobs.. he could tell she didn't look good, but why we brought her to the ER? Both my mom and I were like... ten minutes ago she wouldn't even lift her head... now she was playing peek a boo with grandpa. Well, the motrin had to have kicked in or something. So a $50 visit later... she was released with the orders to drink fluids.. THANKS! Anyway.. I felt better... so back to the party. She really didn't have much to do with opening her gifts... just not up to it. She got her cake.. but really took some help to get her to even try some. After that she laid down and slept again and Grandma and Grandpa J stayed with her while we got Barry to his surprise 30th birthday party. Fast forward 1 hour (Barry was very surprised and thanks to everyone who came) Jenna shows up with Grandma and Grandpa J.... I take her and am kinda keeping a distance from everyone since didn't want to spread what ever this was... well... she PUKES all down her and me. Barry grabs me some napkins and I take off with her home. (I think the cake did it to her). Got her home and in the bath tub... then cuddled and off to bed. Mom was then sure she was coming down with it... but realized that I had not had supper (did have some cake and ice cream but still... not the best choice) and me without food for long periods of time... NOT GOOD... So ate a little something, went to bed and today feeling good! Jenna woke up this morning crying again... not feeling good... but after a little bit after she woke up she was ok and even ate a little bit. She opened her gifts and is now taking a nap. Phew.. not the 1st birthday party you plan for... or you know that she wanted.. but what can you do. Poor baby... that is all I can say! Thanks to everyone who came by... we are soo blessed to have such great family and friends.


This is about the only smile we got all day.
I still think Jenna has the sadder face.
Bites of gluten free cake... she was less than thrilled to eat ANYTHING.
Ok... one more smile for mommy. She is sitting in her pretty pink princess chair from Papa and Nana.
The princess sleeps.
